Since they announced the remake of Super Mario RPG, I’ve found myself playing the original again.
In fact, I have a few classics that I still play regularly.
- Zelda ALttP
- Super Metroid
- Metroid Prime (Switch remaster is 🔥)
- Kirby Air Ride (City Trial is still my go-to party game with my 30 year old friends)
- Super Mario 64
What about you guys?
Super Mario World will always be my go-to.
Super Mario 3, there is just something into it that I just keep coming back to.
I’ve never really stopped playing Super Mario World.
Mario World world map is like a Mario Kart track at this point. Every year we take another lap.
If I still had my 64 I’d break out paper mario once a year.
Done this twice since Nintendo put it on the virtual console. Still such a fantastically funny and entertaining game.
Love the OG! I’ve heard Thousand Year Door is even better but I haven’t gotten around to playing it.
Super Mario 64! I love that game. It brings back so much memories.
- Secret of Mana 1+2
- Terranigma
- Chrono Trigger
- Earthbound
- ALttP
… for the SNES. Those were the games I grew up with and every other year I get the itch to replay one of those. I’ve considered playing the remake of SoM 2 but the demo felt bland and off to me.
On a related note, I would totally buy each of those for the Switch so I could play them on a proper handheld, but the current system with the yearly subscription that basically only rents those games to the end user and forces them to stay online, is something I find off-putting. I’d much rather just pay once and be done, like with every other game in the eShop.
Zelda
- Link’s Awakening
- ALttP
- Oracle series
Mario

Other
- Golden Sun

Super Mario RPG has a pretty fun randomizer I’ll sometimes go back for a run in. Been a while since I have, but with the remake coming up might get back into it.
The classics like Super Metroid, Turtles In Time, F-Zero and Link to the Past are always on rotation but I always love to pop on Cybernator (aka Assault Suits Valken) for a good run and gun mech time. Time Trax is another one not mentioned often but is nostalgic for me.
OoT/MM, SMB3, SMW, and the DKC trilogy
Oot and MM are always fun to replay
The first thing that came to mind was Excitebike but classic makes me think of 8-bit. Super Metroid if we’re talking SNES though.
Super Metroid and Super Marioa64 are masterpieces.
Ocarina of Time, Super Metroid, NBA Jam, NFL Blitz…I’ll probably still be playing these when I’m in a nursing home lol
would love to do an OG Zelda playthrough with my kid and then try to beat the second quest
